0325 Drought
When Xu Yi was locking the door, he suddenly remembered a question: Counting it, there are at least eight or nine air conditioners installed, where are the external units of these air conditioners, why didn't he notice where there were external units?
In addition to a large door, there are only two glass windows on the front of the small building, and there is no place to install an external machine. The location on the first floor of the back is the exit of the subway station, if it is here, then I should be able to see it and not see it, but I haven't seen anything there like this air conditioner outside the unit a few times.
As for the side in the direction of the square, it was basically completely covered by ivy except for the windows, Xu Yi took a closer look, but he didn't see where there could be a foreign machine.
It seems that this foreign machine can only be installed on the wall facing the river, Xu Yi thought so, and looked around to the side towards the wall.
Sure enough, although the wall was also covered with ivy, there were dark air-conditioning booths built about three or four meters above the ground, and some of the ivy, or just blocking them, could be seen hanging from the aluminum alloy shutters covered outside. There are also a few shutters above the second floor window near the third floor, which is also reserved for the third floor.
On the wall below these air-conditioning positions, Xu Yi could still see that there were white pipes fixed to the wall with clips in the gaps of ivy branches and leaves. The pipes run down from the air conditioning unit to the ground, and the elbow protrudes into the ground right into a drainage ditch connected to a nearby floor drain, which may be used to collect the condensate from the air conditioner.
Xu Yi looked at it and nodded secretly, it seems that the reason why this wall is completely uninstalled with windows. Or after all the air conditioners are installed. Too loud is deliberately designed like this. I didn't learn this after all. It's not as thoughtful as the designer.
After checking, Xu Yi took the subway directly and went to the administrative service center of Binjiang District.
More than an hour later, Xu Yi came out of the administrative service center, looked at the contact card in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief, the result was finally not as bad as he thought.
The staff inside told him that as long as the materials he submitted were qualified, someone from Jiekang Company would come to contact him within three working days. If no one contacts him after the time, ask him to call the number on the contact card directly.
The matter was basically done, Xu Yi went back to school directly, ready to take his things and go home directly. When Xu Yi arrived at the school, he found that several people in the dormitory were not there, and it was still early for dinner in this world, so he thought that a few people should have gone out for self-study.
Xu Yi left a note on Hu Yifei's desk, and then took the hot water bottle he brought in the morning directly into the space, and carried the car downstairs and rode directly towards the Agricultural University. After going to the copy shop to get the business card back, Xu Yi rode home directly.
It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. The sun wasn't as hot as it was at noon, but the street trees on both sides of the road were obviously too small. Unable to defend against the sun on the black asphalt pavement, the pavement felt soft all day. Xu Yi rode on the car, and his intuition was that the wind blowing in his face was also hot, and he was like a bun in a steamer, which made people breathless.
In the vegetable fields on both sides, the greenhouses are basically all demolished, and the roofs of the remaining greenhouses that have not been demolished have all been replaced with shade nets.
Riding from the university town to the village, the sudden sound of diesel engines in the fields on both sides of the road has hardly stopped, and I think it is also because the weather is too dry, and the vegetable farmers are pumping water to water the vegetables.
Growing vegetables often consumes a lot of water, and the lack of water will affect the yield.
Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh when he saw this situation, he read the news before saying that the provincial capital had the earliest summer in the past 30 years, and it also broke the record of the longest time that it did not rain in the spring and summer of the provincial capital in the past 50 years. The water pump kept ringing along the way, and it was obvious that the lack of rain had severely affected the normal production of vegetable farmers.
Although he is not superstitious and does not read gossip news, Xu Yi still has an absurd expectation in his heart: the rain god should come to the provincial capital to open a concert.
When he got home, Xu Yi directly pushed the cart to the warehouse and put it away, turned around and went into the vegetable garden to check the mint planted in the morning.
Not surprisingly, these mints obviously can't stand such warm sunlight, and after a day of exposure, they basically all droop their leaves. However, the bamboos on the side of the wall did not have any direct sunlight, so there were no obvious changes.
This is also a helpless thing, the evaporation is too large in such a dry and hot day, and the new roots of mint cannot meet the demand for transpiration at all. If it weren't for the watering in the morning, I am afraid that at the end of the day, I would be able to pull these mints and burn them directly as firewood.
Even though the mints looked a little wilted, Xu Yi wasn't too worried about their survival rate.
Peppermint is a kind of plant with relatively tenacious vitality, and it has grown roots under the action of space water, as long as you water them every day during this time, you can completely plant them in a few days.
Xu Yi reached into the tank and tested the temperature of the water, and the water had become warm after drying it all day. Holding the bucket of water, Xu Yi thoroughly watered the mint, and then filled the water tank, and the western horizon was already flushed with a touch of red
After cooking dinner again, Xu Yi went directly into the space - there was still a nest of bees waiting for him to collect along the river, and he had to prepare the beehive first.
I ran out of planks last time, and if I want to make a beehive, I have to get some planks first. For this, Xu Yi was not worried at all, he had already prepared for this.
Xu Yi carried back a sun-dried log with one end on the workbench and the other end on the ground, and directly took an axe and a firewood knife to peel off the bark on the outside of the log, leaving only the white and clean wood inside. Take a ruler and measure the log, mark it with a pencil, and use a chainsaw to cut it into a log pier more than half a meter long. Finally, the wooden piers were placed on the top with a ruler and an ink fountain to leave a processing allowance, and Xu Yi sawed them into pieces of thin planks with a chainsaw along the line.
The planks processed in this way are certainly not as accurate as band saws or wheel saws, and a lot of wood is wasted. But Xu Yi can't help it, after all, without those equipment, it's good that he can untie this wood.
Waste?
Is there any need to worry about this, it's just a few buckets of water and a little foreseeable time, and it's impossible to pull the wood out just for a few extra boards.
The basswood is soft and not too difficult to crack, but it is similar to grinding corn flour before - unreliable processing will naturally only lead to unreliable products. Even if Xu Yi was already very careful and careful, there were still a few boards that were completely scrapped because the chainsaw was off track and didn't come back.
Xu Yi took the handsaw and planer for a long time to fix the boards until the thickness was uniform, and then repaired the narrow strips of side that needed to be collaged, brushed with glue, and collaged together. After finishing it, Xu Yi counted the number of boards and estimated, and when the whole piece of wood was ready, he would finally be able to make three finished tile boxes, and there would be no more boards left.
After being busy, Xu Yi felt that he had nothing to do. Freshly assembled planks can't be used as beehives right away, until the glue is dry. Seeing that the melon field planted yesterday had been covered with a layer of large and small melons, thinking that there were many that could be picked, Xu Yi simply picked all the ripe ones with a basket and received them in the cellar.
Seeing that the mint he had picked earlier in the cellar was still as fresh as ever, Xu Yi tried to take out a cuttings and put it on the ground.
But before Xu Yi wanted to carry water to pour it, he saw that the mint was getting shorter and lower, and it was directly absorbed by the ground. Xu Yi looked at the empty ground with only the small holes left from the previous cuttings and shrugged indifferently, it seemed that this mint was just looking fresh, but in fact it had already died completely.
If this is in the outside world or on the ground in this space, I think this mint should wilt first before it dies completely. But the mint in this cellar has died, but it has not wilted at all, how can this be explained, is it possible that the cell has not undergone any autolysis until death?
Unable to think of a clue, Xu Yi had no choice but to give up, and directly got up and walked towards the tarpaulin.
The things that were harvested before have been completely dried, and they should be thoroughly cleaned up so that the tarpaulin can be freed up, and I still have to beat out the sun-dried ice powder seeds.
After working for a long time, Xu Yi packed up all the things, and after the seeds were bagged and buried, the tarpaulin was finally cleaned up, and piles of large and small bags were piled up on the side.
Looking at these things, although Xu Yi was a little tired, he was also extremely relieved, with these seeds, he finally had enough seeds to plant!
Xu Yi directly poured the two bamboo plaques of ice powder fruit on the tarpaulin, and then thought that this ice powder seed was too small and too light, if he beat it with a flail, he was afraid that the wind would blow this kind of seed everywhere. After thinking about it, Xu Yi went to find a few dried pen pole bamboos, then pinched the thick ends together and pinched them in his hands, picked up the bamboo poles and pumped them on the ice powder fruit. I saw that after the bamboo pole fell, the ice powder fruit made a crisp clicking sound, and they broke apart, and the seeds inside also bounced around the bamboo pole.
Seeing that this method worked, Xu Yi was relieved to beat boldly, and when he couldn't see the complete husk on the top layer, he stopped, turned the ice powder fruit that was not hit at the bottom to the ground, and continued to whip.
After turning over several times, and seeing that there was no complete ice powder fruit in the turned out husk, Xu Yi stopped and used a sieve to sift the ice powder fruit mixed with a large number of husks on the ground, picked out the ice powder fruit that was missing from the sieve and threw it aside, and the remaining shells were all poured out, leaving only the fine ice powder seeds and some broken shells left on the tarpaulin.
After crushing those ice powder fruits and treating them the same, Xu Yi used a dustpan to clean all the ice powder seeds on the ground, leaving only the brown-red ice powder seeds in the bag.
Xu Yi only planted less than three points of false sour pulp, and the yield was naturally compared with those sesame seeds or peanuts planted on a few acres of land, but he almost collected a full bag, and Xu Yi estimated that he would have to have at least one hundred and forty or fifty catties.
Even if you don't continue to grow, these fake sour pulps will be enough for your own use for a long time! (To be continued......
